THE vote of parliament on Saturday upon
an amendment to the coercion bill reached
only thirty-seven majority for the govern
ment, II the shrinkage should continue at
this rate the bill might be defeated. A very
stormy meeting Of the liberal unionists was
held on Saturday at Lord Hartington's to
discuss the measure, and several of the
liberal union members withdrew before any
conclusion was arrived at. Perhaps "the
dawn OF the day is breaking" for poor

FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY is.
letter from Fairfax.

Correspondence of the Alexandria GAZETTE
EVANSVILLE, Fairfax Co., Feb. 1.-THE
canvass for the various county Offices is get
ting lively aud the woods are full of candi-
dates. There is some acrimony in the fight.
The report of our county treasurer made
public, contains an interesting exhibit
of last years expenditures, and the opera
tions of the board of supervisors There
seems to be general decentralization among
some of our county officials. They appear
to have loose ideas of the exact meaning
of pauperism, or how to use the peoples
money Last year over half the amount OF
the county levy (about $1O,0OOl was appro-
priated TO pay pauper claims, prlncipaliy
outside paupers-fve times as much as
some of our sister counties pay, Wnere
there are two paupers to one mere. we are
apprehensive that this prevailing epidemic
NAV spread as it encourages Incidence and
idleness. A bridge was built across little
lazy stream ct cost of $50, and 500 had to
be paid for approaches to 'said bridge;
another is in course of construction near
Hunters mill with no passable road 10 get
to it nor none to get away after you get
there. But the poor taxpayer can climb to
the top of the adjacent hills and look down
with wonder on the new bridge and sing
"that's the way the money goes. pop
goes the weasel" that is If 1t
don't wash away before spring.
There should be lessening of these bur
bensome encumbrances. 1t is with olin-
culty the farmer scrapes together money
enough to pay bis annual taxes and keep
down fertilizer bills The people should
vote judiciously at the May election, and
vote for men of good judgment and men
who will not disregard the confidence re
posed in them.
DR.. John Z. Day, our popular and efficient
physician, painfully Injured himself one
night last week by jumping upon marble
top bureau through mistake. The Doctor
had distinguished the lights preparatory to
retiring for the night. The bed had been
moved TO another part Of the room during
the day and the bureau substituted in its
place. This change the Doctor had not no.
ticed and jumped on the bureau, fracturing
two ribs and bruising himself considerably.
but is now improving.
1t was at this place a small detachment Oh
Confederate infantry, under Gen. j. b. b.
Stuart, suffered the first defeat of the war,
and some Of the old battle Scared veterans
sleep in the churchyard here. One would
not suppose from the warm.hearted hospi-
tally that reigns here, improvements going
on and the energy and activity of our peo-
pie, that the soldier mad bivouaced on these
hills or that the "livid glare Of war" bad
flashed on tangled sbrubbery and desolated
fields.
